Gotta get a star washer and foil sticker...

Well, I suspected the alternator bolt configuration was incorrect, and it is.  Should be a star washer between the bolt head and the flat washer.  Currently has a lock washer.  There should be no lock washer.  We'll get that fixed.
Here's the correct "Harrison" foil sticker placement from a '67 427/390 car in SoCal

Here's Thumper w/no decal.  We'll get that corrected.

Continued Scottsdale prep...

Removed the carb in preparation of the new one.  Time to clean up/re-paint the intake manifold...

Did a bunch of wiper/washer motor testing... 
Passenger "squirter" was plugged.  Had to use a needle.  All fixed.

Noticed a small spot of loose weatherstrip on driver door.  Fixed.


We were going to 'touch up' the 5 rivets on both doors, but judging guide is confusing me.  Have email out.  They're black, but judging guide indicates they shouldn't be??

Took a gazillion photos of the side-pipe cutouts.  None really turned out great, but this was probably the best one.

Big week on the Big block

Got the new oil fill cap (correct one on the left)

Incorrect tire tub (no fiberglass fibers)

... and washers should be black

Here's the correct bolts & black phosphate washers

Looking it over, we've decided to use the new lid (on left) as well. 

We're constantly blown away at just how clean the underside of this car is.  Amazing.




Heat riser.  Passenger side, facing inward.


Front springs had two tags ("EB" and "EF").  Should only have one "EB" tag, so we removed the other.



While doing the springs, we noticed the engine ground strap had no star washer.

Fixed.


We replaced the incorrect oil drain plug w/the correct one.

Star washer on accelerator linkage was in wrong spot.  S.B. bolt head, ground strap, star washer.


Corrected.

Chevy orange overspray on spark plug boots.  Incorrect.

And on this one...

And this one.  Cleaned them w/acetone.

We noticed the evaporator box @ firewall should have "Harrison" sticker.

Ordered it.

Spent Saturday working on fixing the Hi-Beam bulb issue

Underdash.  Dropped steering column and A/C ducting, and hood release bracket.





Noticed issues.  Bolts w/nuts were not suppose to be used here.

We also found additional gauge cluster lights unhooked/fallen out.  Fixed 3 bulbs.

We also found the brake light condenser unhooked.  Got it fixed.

All dash lights working!

Underdash, this ground wire also had the star washer in the wrong location!


Fixed it.  Bolt head, ground strap, star washer.
